aerocaps.geom.plane.Plane

class Plane(p0: Point3D, p1: Point3D, p2: Point3D)

Bases: object

__init__(p0: Point3D, p1: Point3D, p2: Point3D)

Creates a plane from three points

Parameters:

• p0 (Point3D) – First point (origin of the plane)

• p1 (Point3D) – Second point

• p2 (Point3D) – Third point

Methods

compute_normal()	Computes the unit vector normal to the plane
plane_parallel_X(distance_from_origin)
plane_parallel_Y(distance_from_origin)
plane_parallel_Z(distance_from_origin)
plot(plot[, plane_kwargs, mesh_kwargs])	Plots the plane on the scene

Attributes

origin

compute_normal() → Vector3D

Computes the unit vector normal to the plane

Returns:

Unit normal vector

Return type:

Vector3D

plot(plot: Plotter, plane_kwargs: dict = None, mesh_kwargs: dict = None) → PolyData

Plots the plane on the scene

Parameters:

• plot – pyvista.Plotter instance

• plane_kwargs – Keyword arguments to pass to the pyvista.Plane constructor. Default: None

• mesh_kwargs – Keyword arguments to pass to pyvista.Plotter.add_mesh. Default: None

Returns:

The plane mesh object

Return type:

pv.PolyData
